    Eighth grader asks: Is a Disney cruise just for little kids?

    ByEileen Ogintz April 25, 2014February 1, 2024

    The water slide that swung out over the sea, a deck dance party, lots of food and ice cream and this club area just for teens called Vibe. So I felt pretty good about taking my first cruise on a Disney ship for three days.

    First time cruiser family checks out the Disney Dream

    ByEileen Ogintz April 24, 2014June 29, 2023

    We liked the Disney Dream for our first family cruise because of Disney’s reputation for customer service, the ship’s dedicated teen entertainment area called Vibe and a short three-day Bahamian sail

    A place where a private tour makes sense: The Louvre in Paris

    ByEileen Ogintz April 24, 2014July 15, 2021

    Boston’s Freedom Trail: Where families travel back in time

    ByEileen Ogintz April 10, 2014July 15, 2021

    Welcome to Boston’s Freedom Trail, the 2.5-mile-long route over cobble-stoned streets that lets you travel back in time to when Boston was still a colony and people argued about what to do about the increasingly difficult demands from the king of England.

    ByEileen Ogintz April 10, 2014July 8, 2021
